Once the Minister of Finance realized that complaints about pulling the financial plug on the show were being raised ALL OVER THE WORLD (Starting with you in England) they decided to FUND THE SHOW to the tune of ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
Promoter Singh said: “The national public [and International public] made a point with the response we got. The response speaks for itself, Chutney Soca is here to stay, it is an integral part of Carnival and I don’t believe anyone will try to mess with the culture of Trinidad and Tobago.”
Now the BIG QUESTION remains: Will they let MASSIVE GOSEIN sing?

Cecil: The real irony is that THE 2018 CHUTNEY SONGS are such GARBAGE they did not deserve to have a show. I went through a bunch of the new releases and I could not find ONE genre-saving composition/rendition.
